Corning Cable Systemsā OptiVisor 400 Optical Time Domain
Reflectometer (OTDR) provides testing flexibility by offering
a rugged platform with field-interchangeable multimode and
single-mode modules. All OTDR modules can be used as CW
light source and are available with an optional visual fault
locator (VFL) installed. An optional power meter is available
on the OptiVisor 400 OTDR mainframe. The standard unit
provides internal memory for storaage of up to 700 traces using
MicrosoftĀ® WindowsĀ® CE technology, eliminating the need
for a hard drive. If extra storage capacity is needed, there is
a 1.44 MB floppy drive on the mainframe along with a
PCMCIA port.
The OptiVisor 400 OTDR product line offers a wide variety
of multimode and single-mode modules including a tri-wavelength
single-mode module perfect for FTTx testing. Modules
can be easily switched out in the field, without the use of
tools, in just a matter of seconds.
The OTDR features a 7.7-inch high-quality color LCD touch
screen that is resistant to most common chemicals used in the
field. The screen is large enough to view both the trace and
the event table, thereby eliminating the need to toggle back
and forth between the two.
With three testing modes, the OptiVisor 400 OTDR offers
something for every installer. Auto Mode allows the user to
select the parameters automatically, making it perfect for basic
OTDR applications or the occasional user. Advanced Mode
offers more setup and measurement capabilities for the experienced
OTDR user. Template Trace Mode allows the user to
create a template for comparison with other traces, ideal for
quick testing of multiple fibers.
